incepted by a gray costal spot, followed by a white patch which extends obliquely 

 iu to the reniform ; over the cell the line is barely traceable, and below that it is 

 lost. S. t. line white, irregular, tending to become broken. Terminal space cut 

 with white on the veins and tendiug to become white powdered. A broken ter- 

 minal line of black scales. Fringes long, white, with an olivaceous line at base, 

 and olivaceous spots at apex, above the middle of the. margin and at the hind 

 angle. The orbicular is a minute black point. The reniform is round or nearly 

 so, olivaceous gray, partly edged by black scales, white ringed. Secondaries 

 white, becoming smoky at the outer margin ; fringes white. Beneath, primaries 

 smoky, the costal and outer margins white ; secondaries white, immaculate. Ex- 

 pands .92 inches = 23 mm. 



Hab. — Southern Arizona (Poling) ; Hot Springs, New Mexico, 

 7000 ft, alt. ( Hulst). 



One male and one female, both in fair condition. The frontal 

 process in this species is shorter and more obtuse than in the other 

 described species, but is obvious and justifies the reference to this 

 genus, in which it is thus far unique in having the head and thorax 

 white. Superficially it resembles candefacta at first sight, differing 

 at once, however, by the white secondaries. 



Toi'iiacontia tripartita u. sp. — Head deep sable brown. Thorax white, 

 collar brown tipped ; the vestiture of the disc is defective iu the specimen before 

 me, but apparently the patagia are edged with brown. Primaries white, with a 

 vague bluish tint, the markings bluish gray. The upper half of the wings is 

 chiefly white; the lower half is mostly gray; the space between the 7iiedian and 

 t. p. line below the cell forming the darkest portion of the wing. All the usual 

 lines obvious. Basal line forming a brown spot on the median vein. T. a. line 

 leaden gray, diffuse, and incomplete over the cell, deeply incurved, black, pre- 

 ceded by a white line from the median vein to the inner margin. The median 

 shade line is marked by a gray costal spot, is lost through the cell, black, parallel 

 to the t. p. line from the median vein to the inner margin. S. t. line marked by 

 a gray s. t. shade which contrasts with the white terminal space ; in course only 

 a little irregular. A black, lunate terminal line, narrowly cut on the veins. 

 Orbicular a small round dot. Reniform small, a little irregular, gray, the sides 

 edged with black. Secondaries dull white, with a faint smoky yellowish tint. 

 Beneath, primaries blackish, the margins yellowish, the reniform black; second- 

 aries as above. Expands 1.00 inch = 25 mm. 



Hab. — Wilgus, Cochise Co., Arizona. 



One female in fair condition, from Dr. Barnes* collection. The 

 species is allied to megocula, but is more white, with all the usual 

 markings present, and the reniform small, irregular. The chisel- 

 like projection on the front is broad and well marked. On the sec-^ 

 ondaries the venation is as in its allies. 



Conacoill ia orba n. sp. — Head and thorax creamy white; vertex and 

 disc a little smoky. Abdomen yellow. Primaries creamy white along the costa
